Flash flood watch is up for the area. Now that's an odd one. Especially since it's been dry. |

Not everyone has been dry. Water table is still high to pro ably. And 2 to 4+ inches in short order will cause problems almost anytime.

Dry as a bone here. Haven’t had meaningful rain in a long while. Obviously I don’t want 4 inches but I could use a bit.

The Battlehawks opinions seems like a strange name. Of course I meant what do you all think of the name they picked Battlehawks lol. Let’s eat, Grandma. Let’s eat Grandma. |

I will be off air tomorrow to deal with a family emergency. My mother-in-law was in a bad wreck on I-64 today and is in the hospital. Lots of broken bones and bruises, but she is alive. I should be back Friday. Please keep my wife's family in your prayers.

Seems like that big area to our south is building north and those echoes coming down the 70 corridor will merge...yeah i think 2 to 4 is a good bet.

Im recalling in 1993 predictions of a snowy winter following a very wet year. The top 5 wettest are 2015, 2008, 1982, 1993, 1984. Interesting to note the winters following those top 5 precipitation years yielded well below normal snow. That, of course does not reflect weather patterns. Just a comparison of snow the following winter after a top 5 amount of precip. I think i have been seeing some internet chatter about high amounts of precip and whether or not it points to more snow. In all 5 cases, snow was well below normal.

I definitely want to take a closer look at precip to snow correlations but i also notice the following winter is not only below normal in snow, but above normal in precip for the months nov to march. 2015 we had over 11 inches in december. I dont mind not getting snow if its sunny and mild...i dont like rainy winters. Of course as i mentioned this is just stats. Havent even begun looking at teleconnections and phases. I did extend my analysis out to top 10, and the relationship starts is still strong but there were 2 winters above avg snow. Not a prediction for this winter at all.

Of course keep in mind theres the double dip effect in those numbers. But even if you back out 11 inches in december, that year still saw 50 inches of other rain.

Seeing a ton of lightning to my south. Not sure if this will blow up this way. It doesn't look like it currently.
